Engage:
Stand in front of one of your friends.
Put your hands on your hips.
And … deliver one of these insults at your friend as if you really mean it.
• Thou poisonous hasty-witted filthy rogue!
• Thou loggerheaded rude-growing serpents-egg!
• Thou overwheening folly-fallen bear-whelp!
• Thou errant bat-fowling hugger-mugger!
• You yourself, sir, shall grow old as I am if like a crab you could go backward.
• Thou roguish onion-eyed pigeon-egg!
• Confusion now hath made his masterpiece!
You’ve just delivered a Shakespearean insult to your friend. Shakespeare’s insults were often clever and funny.
Try to create and deliver your own insult in the style of one of Shakespeare’s insults.
William Shakespeare is one of the most respected playwrights of all time. His words roll off your tongue, though you may not understand what they mean. If he couldn’t find the right word, he would often make one up.
As you can see, some of his best invented words were used as insults.
You and your team will choose a scene from one of Shakespeare’s plays. You’ll modernize the setting and create costumes to depict the new setting. You’ll rehearse, perform and videotape this scene.
